Banana Split Icebox Cake
A perfect dessert for you to enjoy while you laze around.
Supplies
- 226 grams mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup banana pudding
- 1/2 chocolate pound cake
- 1/2 vanilla pound cake
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate
- 1 tablespoon liquid coconut oil
- Whipped cream
- Sliced banana
- Maraschino cherries
- Rainbow sprinkles
Steps
- Make the banana cream filling: Place the mascarpone cheese, confectioner's sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Add the banana pudding and combine.
- To assemble: Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan generously with plastic wrap, allowing extra plastic wrap to hang over the sides.
- Remove the crusts from the vanilla and chocolate pound cake and slice both into 3 layers.
- Place a vanilla layer into the loaf pan and smooth 1/4 of the banana cream filling on top.
- Spoon 1/2 of the cherry pie filling on top.
- Smooth more banana cream filling on top and top with a layer of chocolate pound cake.
- Continue with the cream and pie filling layers, then place a final layer of vanilla pound cake on top, fold the excess plastic wrap over the surface of the cake.
- Freeze the cake overnight.
- To serve, remove the plastic wrap from the surface of the cake and invert the pan onto a serving dish. Peel off the remaining plastic wrap and trim the sides of the cake to create straight edges.
- Top with the remaining banana cream filling and smooth over the sides and surface of the cake, dolloping the extra on top.
- Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted chocolate and coconut oil. Drizzle this all over the surface of the cake.
- Dollop some whipped cream on top and decorate with sliced banana, maraschino cherries and rainbow sprinkles. Slice and enjoy!
